The Russia/Ukraine War Started 80 Years Ago (Hidden History Revealed, Ep. 2)

Declassified CIA documents trace the origins of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine

On June 4, 2025 I will address the United Nations Security Council Arria Formula Meeting “Understanding and Resolving The Ideological Roots of the Ukranian Crisis.” (The meeting starts at 10 A.M. Eastern. You can watch it live here at UN Web TV.)

My presentation to the UNSC focuses on the secret history of U.S. recruitment, funding, arming, and training of Ukrainian nationalists (many of whom were wanted Nazi war criminals) during the Cold War — a topic I’ve researched and written about extensively over the years.

My “Hidden History Revealed” podcast series takes a deep dive into the Central Intelligence Agency’s covert collaboration with the Nazis in Ukraine which was kept from the American public for more than half a century.

On Episode 2 of Hidden History Revealed, we will discover the recently uncovered truth through a declassified document trail which shows — beyond any doubt — that the current U.S.-backed proxy war in Ukraine didn’t just start in February 2002; or even in 2014.

The conflict actually began 80 years ago, when British MI6, U.S. military intelligence, and the CIA began recruiting Ukrainian nationalist “freedom fighters” to destabilize the USSR, with the ultimate goal of effecting regime change in Soviet Russia.

Here’s a handy thread to read as you follow along with the podcast, with images of key documents and links to more in the U.S. National Archives.

Don’t miss Episode 2 of Hidden History Revealed: learn about the Cold War CIA network of Ukrainian nationalist spies and their Nazi war criminal allies all over the world, from Canada to Germany, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Palestine.
